Hi guys,

     I have a bunch of SD cards that I use on my NEX7 and I fell a little reluctang in buying a bunch of CF cards for the MarkII. Does anyone here have ACTUAL PRACTICAL experience using SD cards on the MarkII (or MarkIII for that matter) with an SD to CF adapter?

Hi guys,

     I have been using the Superflat picture profile and I was wondering if there is any other that has more latitude than this one?

thanks

Hi guys,

     I´m trying to install Magic Lantern on my MarkII and it needs to be done from the Compact Flash memory card via memory card reader. I´ve bought a memory card reader today and when I tried to read from the 32gb CF memory card it said it needed to be formated but it shows only like 20GB. I went to windows´ disk management where I could see the CF card was unallocated. When I´ve tried allocating it without formating it the system told me "Data error (cyclic redundancy error)". Also, when I try to format it it won´t allow me the option to use FAT.
     I´ve put the card back in the MarkII and it reads it perfectly (and finds 29GB memory space).

     Any thoughts?

Hi guys,

        I´m new here so I´m not sure if this is the right place to post this, so MODS, please feel free to move it if necessary.
       While I was waiting for my CF Card to arrive I´ve started looking into ways of testing the MarkII by recording via USB. I´ve downloaded a program called "Extra Webcam" (http://extrawebcam.com/) that allows you to record directly from the camera via USB. I was able to select 24p and a couple of other options but the resolution I´ve got was 1024 X 680 (every 30 seconds I was getting more or less a 150mb file) . I was thinking that if such a simple little program allows to do this, then there must be others that allow you much more control. And if there isn´t it doesn´t look like a very hard thing for a programmer to do (bare in mind I´m not a programmer and this is just an assumption). 

Hi,

      I have a project coming up in less than 2 weeks and I won´t have enough time to order a Sescom audio monitor cable for my MarkII. Is this what I need to use the MarkIIs´ A/V cable to monitor the audio?:

Hi,

     I´ve just gotten my MarkII and I´m about to get some CF Cards. Is there any speed restriction to use it with Magic Lantern? Say, ML only works with memory cards that can write with a speed over a specific number? I didn´t see anything on the FAQ section so I gather it works even with the slowest cards out there.

Hi guys,

I want to install Magic Lantern on my MarkII and while reading the FAQ section their website I´ve that "Magic Lantern runs from the card, as an add-on over standard firmware". So I have 2 doubts:
1 - Whenever I shoot an entire day (which will mean I will have to use different memory cards) I will need to have ML on ALL cards?
2 - I also have a NEX7 as a travel camera and it generates several folders on the memory cards. Can this somehow interfere on running ML if I use the same cards on both cameras?
